Re: [seul-edu] Zschool? Let me try this one more time...

[Jeffrey Elkner <jelkner@yorktown.arlington.k12.va.us>]

We are currently involved in setting up a "ZSchool" at Yorktown, and would love
to work with other folks interested in this project.  I must say, however, that
I have not been very encouraged by my last experience trying to get something
going through the seul-edu list, as evidenced below by my two postings
from Feb. 8 to which I have still not received a reply :-(  I decided to give
it another shot, however, so lets see what happens.
